Low cholesterol pose risk to our health

We have been told time and again so to speak that high cholesterol is bad for health and that high cholesterol is the leading cause of stroke and heart attack. As a matter of fact this is grossly misrepresented and is far from the truth. Why is this so? Did you know that low cholesterol post risk to our health? Carry on reading and you will surprised, if not shock by the truth.

There are many people who are not aware that there is good cholesterol as much as there is bad cholesterol. In medical terms, LDL is known as the bad guy and HDL is known as the good guy (good cholesterol.) Anyway, that’s beside the point though.

I bet not many people are aware that 1) lowering cholesterol can make heart disease worse, 2) low cholesterol can trigger massive stroke that occurs when the blood vessel in the brain becomes so weak and it burst open and 3) low cholesterol can cause increase chances of cancer risk.

The human body is the most complicated and marvelously design piece of machine in the universe. It is hard to believe that such a complicated machine evolve out of nowhere. Cholesterol is a vital nutrient to the human body. Cholesterol constitutes one of the main components in our body immune system and helps our brain cells to function properly. When medical science steps in and attempt to program the body against what Mother Nature has governed, we do our self more harm than good.
Hard to believe though, as a matter of fact 25% of the human body cholesterol is stored in the brain. Low cholesterol could impair the brain function properly and indirectly linked to Alzheimer and depression thoughts.


As the saying goes, what you don’t know might not kill you; on the other hand what you know in partial truth may get you killed faster instead. Those of us who are health conscious go for periodic full body checkout. What do we do when we discover our body cholesterol is high? We seek medical advice and treatment. We take Statin drug or other medications to control and lower cholesterol level, not knowing the danger of the side effects of such drugs.
